Also starring in the campaign are fellow recording artists Lil Uzi Vert, Yves Tumor and Ethel Cain, alongside French performer and designer Michèle Lamy, and M3GAN – the lifelike doll from the horror movie of the same name.

Ice Spice shared photos of the campaign on her Instagram and Twitter accounts on Monday (April 3). She also tweeted behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot wearing the printed mini dress while sitting on a mechanical bull and in a pink crochet coverup over a printed bikini with brown platform boots.

The Cuffz bag ($175) and Margaret platform boots ($595) that the Bronx native wore in the campaign sold out online, but there are plenty of other items to shop from the collection.

Playing on aspects of heaven and hell, the polysexual collection features raglan tees, baby tees, long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts, sweaters, pants, dresses and skirts along with earrings, necklaces, rings and other accessories boasting heavenly and devilish designs.

“I don’t do a ton of partnerships, but I was drawn to Katie’s story, and found so many similarities with my own, so working with Lone River is really special for me,” Lambert said in a press release announcing the partnership on March 30. “I’m a storyteller first and foremost, and that’s exactly what Katie set out to do with this brand. Lone River was built on honoring her family’s roots and sharing an authentic way of life in West Texas. I’m excited to see what kind of noise us Texas women can make together!”

“Miranda Lambert is the kind of person that makes me proud to be a Texan and I am so honored to have her as a partner on this journey as we continue to grow Lone River. She is the embodiment of the trailblazing spirit that built our business, and it is a dream to have the opportunity to see our brand through her eyes,” added Beal Brown. “Through her iconic career in country music and beyond she’s played such an important part in modernizing the ideals of the American West. I am so grateful to be a small part of this through Lone River.”

Ranch water is a Texas-born concoction made with tequila, lime juice and soda water. Lone River, the leading brand for ranch water in the U.S., was founded by Beal Brown in 2019 and acquired by Diageo in 2021.

Lone River recently introduced the Ranch Rita Variety Pack following the release of the Lone River Ranch Rita Classic Margarita Style beverage last year. Lone River Ranch Water Hard Seltzer is available in original, spicy, rio red grapefruit and prickly pear, while Lone River Ranch Rita Margarita is available in classic, spicy, mango and blood orange. Lone River is carried at major retailers nationwide including Target, BevMo! and Total Wine & More, and available on delivery apps such as Drizly and Instacart.

Lambert saddles up and rides a horse in the multimedia campaign, which she shared on Instagram and Twitter March 29. “Untamed with Lone River,” Lambert captioned the posts. “Ya’ll know I never play by the rules.”

As part of their partnership, Lambert and Lone River will work to “empower likeminded entrepreneurial women” ages 21 and older through a series of luncheons, networking opportunities and other events to be announced in the coming months.

Working with Lone River is the latest business venture for Lambert, who launched her own boot and clothing line — Idyllwind Fueled by Miranda Lambert — in 2018, and a cookware and home goods line, Wanda June, last year. Lambert will release a cookbook, Ya’ll Eat Yet, on April 25.  

The “Actin’ Up” singer resumed her Velvet Rodeo residency in Las Vegas over the weekend after being put on vocal wrest and canceling a show last week. Lambert is scheduled to perform another round of concerts on Thursday (April 6). Click here for tickets.

Nestled between the pale sands of South Beach and the hustle and bustle of Collins Avenue sits the vibrant W Hotel South Beach. The seemingly hidden gem located steps from the Atlantic Ocean is one of several W Hotels where tourists and locals convene to enjoy live music.

“Music has been such a big part of our DNA,” Carly Van Sickle, senior director, global brand marketing at W Hotels, told Billboard during a visit to the South Beach location last week. “We’ve always supported up-and-coming musicians and artists. More recently, working with Leah ‘LP Giobbi’ Chisholm [global director of music at W Hotel], our team has really been focusing on the electronic and dance scene, but also making sure that [the experiences are] still varied and connected to local culture.”

With electronic and dance music surging in popularity, and megastars like Beyoncé and Drake exploring the space, the hotel is digging even deeper into the genre by way of W Presents, an “innovative live electronic showcase” featuring artists handpicked by Chisholm, including opening acts from her organization, FEMME House, which creates “equitable opportunities” for women and gender-expansive individuals in the music industry.   

The live music series, announced Wednesday (March 28), will take place in the W’s lobby/lounge area called Living Rooms. Rapper and producer Channel Tres will kick off the series with a performance at the new W Hotel Toronto on April 6.

The live music series comes on the heels of the W South Beach’s Miami Music Week celebration. The hotel hosted a series of events attended by influencers and tastemakers in the EDM scene, including Diplo and Frances Mercier.

Fans from all over the world flocked to Miami for the 10-year anniversary of Miami Music Week. The annual celebration, which was held from March 21-26, coincided with this year’s Ultra Music Festival.

W South Beach invited Billboard to attend its Miami Music Week events and installations, the first of which was an invite-only dinner at Irma’s W South Beach on March 22. The hotel teamed with Senza Fine to present a fine-dining experience co-hosted by Chisholm and Senza Fine co-founder Carlita and sponsored by Volcan De Mi Tierra Tequila.

Attendees included EDM titans and VIPs such as Diplo, Pete Tong, Damien Lazarus, Bedouin, Thomas & Julien de Bie (a.k.a. the “Parallells”), Ape Drums of Major Lazer, Anfisa Letyago, Mercier, Joplyn, Arielle Free, Spotify head of electronic dance development Ronny Ho, WME head of electronic music Stephanie LaFera, and Nü Androids founder Nayef Issa.

The menu, courtesy of DJ Tennis, featured small bites served on tennis rackets and seafood dishes such as blue crab with polenta, wild-caught swordfish, ragu paccheri pasta and fish cigars.

Day 2 kicked off with a yoga session on the beach, led by Ahana Yoga, followed by a breakfast mixer with sounds provided by a guest DJ. New York City wellness company WTHN provided cupping and custom ear seeds, while guests enjoyed fresh fruits, breakfast bites and sips of cacao.

“We want to make sure that W is showing up during cultural music moments, but showing up in a way that isn’t just always a party,” explained Van Sickle. “That’s why we had the dinner and wellness event. We know that it’s super important to take care of artists and people in the industry at large and to take care of mental health and wellness.”

For night 2, the W partnered with Mercier’s Deep Root record label for “Deep Root Tribe,” an Afro-House music event at W South Beach’s WET Deck, sponsored by El Cristiano 1761 Tequila. The event, which was held March 23 and open to the public, featured intimate sets from EDM stars including Major League DJz, &Friends, Bontan, HoneyLuv, Nico De Andrea, Ninetoes, samblacky, D’WITCHES, Gianni Petrarca, Sam Haze and a special performance from Mercier and Diplo.

“Our Wet Decks and pools are a really good platform for music too,” Van Sickle noted. “In Barcelona, for example, they do what they call their Wet Deck summer series. Every summer [there’s] a different lineup, again, free to the public. We want the locals to come in. We want people traveling to know that if they’re looking for music experiences, they can go to W Hotel. We’re popping up in a lot of different ways. Just making sure we’re always activating around that passion point of music.”

W South Beach’s Miami Music Week event series commenced with a panel presented by FEMME House and a cocktail industry mixer at W South Beach’s Living Room. The panel was hosted by FEMME House co-founders Chisholm and HERMIXALOT and discussed creating opportunities for marginalized communities, providing safe spaces for diversity and building “authentic community” in music.

Apart from special events, exquisite rooms and sprawling views, the W Hotel further caters to music fans and creators by offering private recording studios and writer’s rooms. The Sound Suites are available at a few locations, including the W Hollywood, W Seattle and W Bali.

“Ultimately, our goal obviously is to have people stay with us, but we want to make sure that our experiences are open to others too,” said Van Sickle. “We don’t want [these experiences] to be exclusive. We’re inclusive. We want everyone to come, be themselves, have fun and experience the music.

“So it’s both sides of the artist community,” she continued. “It’s a creative space for the community, kind of like a mix of both: fans, but also for artists as well.”

Tapping into the local community is a large part of creating live music experiences at W Hotels around the world. “Local culture is a really big thing for us that we want to tap into,” added Van Sickle.

“I think that post-COVID, we want to make sure we’re bringing these experiences back in a really accessible way, but a fun, innovative, culturally relevant way too.”

TikTokers seem to be loving the lip oil, according to several reviews raving over the “extremely comfortable and hydrating” lip oil, its smooth application and “gorgeous packaging.”

Soft Pinch Lip Oil retails for $20 and will be available on Thursday (March 30) at 12 a.m. PT. But if you don’t want to wait that long, you can buy it right now on the Sephora app.

Earlier on Wednesday, Gomez hosted a Rare Beauty event celebrating the launch of the heavily anticipated lip oil. The Only Murders in the Building star, who is currently in New York filming the third season of the Hulu series, posed for photos with beauty influencers during the event.

The lip oil has been two years in the making, Gomez revealed in an interview with Elle.com. “The formula took two years to develop because it’s such a unique texture in a variety of shades—getting the right shades is always really important in our development process.”

Gomez introduced fans to the new lip oil earlier this week. “Meet me new Rare Beauty Soft Tinted Lip Oil,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s not your traditional lip oil – it’s an innovative lip jelly that transforms into a lightweight oil giving your lips the perfect pinch of color and shine. I love how comfy it feels – it’s never sticky.” 

Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Lip Oil is made with jojoba and sunflower seed that “instantly hydrates and nourishes for soft, smooth lips that feel moisturized all day.” The tinted lip oil is available in serenity (warm rose), affection (muted berry), happy (cool pink), joy (muted peach), delight (rose brown), hope (nude mauve), wonder (rose mauve) and honesty (nude brown.)

Rare Beauty is a certified hit in the beauty and business world. The brand made a reported $60 million in its first year and became one of the top beauty brands of 2022 alongside Charlotte Tilbury, ColourPop, NYX and M.A.C Cosmetics.

Finding the right swimsuit can be a task. From body type to fabric, cut and style, there’s a lot to factor in when shopping for swimwear.

Can you even swim in a crochet bikini? You can certainly try, but crochet bikinis are probably better for making a fashion statement than taking a dip — and celebs have taken notice. Dua Lipa, who loves rocking crochet clothing, was spotted in a checkered crochet bikini in Miami last year, while Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney struck a pose in a Mao London Lili crochet bikini during a 2022 beachside photoshoot.

But it’s not just swimwear. Olivia Rodrigo sported a crochet look on the cover of Variety in 2021, Miley Cyrus has worn crochet multiple times, and Solange is no stranger to the crochet trend.
